A closer look at your gold
Your coins deserve an individual evaluation.
A bullion coin’s purity, fine gold weight and resale demand all matter. Older coins may also carry value for their date, mint mark or condition. That is why we identify what you have before making an offer.
Whether you have one Krugerrand, a few bars or an inherited collection, Los Angeles Gold Buyer Exchange helps you understand the pieces you are selling. If you also want to sell gold for cash in Los Angeles, you can bring your jewelry and other gold items for a separate evaluation during the same visit. We also buy scrap and broken gold.

Know what affects your offer
How we price gold coins and bullion
The starting point is the amount of fine gold in your piece and the current gold spot price. Product demand, verification, condition and collectible appeal help determine the purchase offer.
Spot prices move during the trading day. Online retail prices also include a seller’s margin, and a listed asking price is not necessarily a completed sale. For a useful comparison, compare offers for the same items at approximately the same time.
Bullion: use fine gold weight
Gold purity and total coin weight are different measurements. A one-ounce American Gold Eagle is 22-karat gold, but contains one full troy ounce of fine gold. Its total weight is higher because of its alloy. Fractional Eagles contain the corresponding fraction of an ounce.
Do not apply a purity discount to a coin’s stated fine gold weight a second time. We identify the product and confirm its specifications before pricing it.
See the U.S. Mint’s bullion coin specifications for American Eagle gold content and sizes.
Collectible coins: look beyond melt
Some coins can be worth more than their metal content. We consider dates, mint marks, condition and existing grading information. A holder or an old date alone does not guarantee a premium, and a purchase evaluation is not a formal third-party grading service.
Packaging and product demand
Recognized coins and bars may be easier to resell than unfamiliar products. Original packaging can help identification, but authenticity still needs checking. Ask how those factors affect your specific offer.
In person, at the counter
How selling your coins works
We walk you through identification, verification and pricing before you decide. For a large collection or high-value bar, call ahead so the location can prepare for your visit.
Keep coins in their capsules, tubes or grading holders. Bring assay cards and receipts if available. You do not need to clean or polish anything.
We review the mint or refiner, date, denomination and size, and look for features that may affect collectible value.
We explain the testing approach, verify the metal using non-destructive methods, and weigh items on state-certified digital scales.
We explain the offer for each item, including its gold content and relevant market factors. You can ask questions or compare another quote before deciding.
If you accept, complete the sale and receive payment. For large transactions, confirm the payment method and arrangements by phone before visiting.
Before you visit
- Leave coins and sealed bars in their original holders.
- Do not clean, polish or remove a coin from a bezel.
- Bring a valid government-issued photo ID.
- Call ahead for collections, kilo bars or a private consultation.
A local, face-to-face sale
Sell your gold coins locally in LA
When you sell in person, you can ask questions while your items are being evaluated and decide before handing them over. There is no shipment to arrange and no waiting for a package to arrive at an out-of-state buyer.
Since 2011, Los Angeles Gold Buyer Exchange has bought gold, diamonds and luxury watches from local sellers. Our locations give you options across the San Fernando Valley, central Los Angeles and South Los Angeles.
One coin or a collection
You do not need to sort an inheritance perfectly before visiting. Bring what you have, and we will help identify the items and explain the evaluation.
No shipping to arrange
Keep your coins with you while you consider the offer. An in-person visit lets you discuss the items and payment directly with the buyer.
Clear comparisons
Ask for the basis of the offer for each piece. Compare actual purchase offers, their timing and payment terms rather than retail listing prices alone.

Before you sell
Gold coin and bullion FAQs
Your offer depends on the verified gold content, the current spot price, product demand, condition and any collectible value. A purchase offer is different from a retail asking price and may be below spot. Call (323) 434-0305 for today’s pricing or bring your items in for a free evaluation.
Recognized bullion can retain a resale premium that scrap jewelry does not. The difference depends on the product, its authenticity and condition, and current demand. We evaluate the coin or bar individually and explain the offer; a premium above melt value is not guaranteed.
Date, mint mark, rarity, condition and buyer demand can matter. Pre-1933 U.S. gold, selected proof issues and scarce dates may have collectible value. Bring any PCGS or NGC grading holders and supporting paperwork. Not every old or graded coin commands a large premium.
No. Polishing, rubbing or chemical cleaning can alter a coin’s surface and reduce collector appeal. Leave coins as they are, handle loose coins by their edges, and keep original holders and packaging.
Yes. Bring assay-carded gold bars, mint tubes and coins in PCGS or NGC holders. Keep them sealed before your visit. Packaging and certificates help identify an item, but the metal and the holder still need to be authenticated.
Evaluation starts with identification and comparison of weight and dimensions with the expected specifications. Non-destructive testing helps verify the metal. We explain the proposed testing before proceeding; keep sealed items intact and ask about the verification approach for your particular piece.
Tax treatment and reporting depend on your circumstances and the transaction. Keep your purchase records and sale receipt, and ask a qualified tax professional about any gain and filing obligations. Call ahead for large transactions so we can explain the sale documentation and payment arrangements.
Bring the coins or bullion, a valid government-issued photo ID, and any holders, assay cards, receipts or grading information you have. Walk-ins are welcome. Call ahead for large collections, kilo bars or a private consultation so the selected location can plan enough time and confirm payment arrangements.
